He received a Bachelor's degree in Art History at the University of South Florida. In addition, he also received a Master's degree in Library Science at that same University. He is also a member of the Society for Collegiate Scholars as well as the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society.

For many years of his life he has been an avid researcher and collector of antiques and collectibles, and since 2000 has been a seller as well, primarily via online auction sites such as Ebay. He has also collaborated with and sent textual and visual submissions (Using his alternate name--Jonathon Jones is a pen name) to Ted Hake, writer of the Hake's Character Collectibles Guides, and some of his former collection pieces have been pictured within the pages of those books.
